UITableView Cell selected Color?
No need for custom cells. If you only want to change the selected color of the cell, you can do this:
Objective-C:
UIView *bgColorView = [[UIView alloc] init];bgColorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];[cell setSelectedBackgroundView:bgColorView];Swift:
let bgColorView = UIView()bgColorView.backgroundColor = UIColor.redcell.selectedBackgroundView = bgColorView
I think you were on the right track, but according to the class definition for selectedBackgroundView:
The default is nil for cells in plain-style tables (UITableViewStylePlain) and non-nil for section-group tables UITableViewStyleGrouped).
Therefore, if you're using a plain-style table, then you'll need to alloc-init a new UIView having your desired background colour and then assign it to selectedBackgroundView.
Alternatively, you could use:
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;if all you wanted was a gray background when the cell is selected. Hope this helps.
Table View Cell selection background color can be set via the Storyboard in Interface Builder:
